He was ~-180 before today, maybe he will drop to -150 or so. Not much I think. I gotta say, I am nervous though.

Eh, highly uncharacteristic performance last night against a frustrating adversary, but he still overcame. Think he blows Kei out of the water.

100 errors in 5 sets against Simon, nasty

**JohnnyRudeboy** · 01-24-16, 03:05 PM

And I see -260 to win the AO today from one of my shitty locals

**frugalgambler** · 01-24-16, 03:21 PM

Yeah, did not drop much; from -180 to -170 at 5d. I guess it is presumed that Novak just had a bad day, maybe PMS or something.

There is two ways to analyze Djokovic match against Simon

1) The guy was terrible, 100 unforced errors in unreal.
2) Who else in the world can win a match with 100 unforced errors?

He showed why he is the champion he is, a true champion is the one who can find a way to emerge victorious on a bad day.

Agreed with this.

No, this was because of Simon. He makes you play a push game (nobody looks good doing that) and then he beats you at it. Overcoming him always looks like you suck the whole match, but in reality it is the only path to victory when he's playing well.

No doubts on that, Simon is a terrific counter puncher and has the ability to make his opponents play bad.

Simon was awesome, but the thing I did not like the most was Novak's body language. We'll see. I think that was a boost for Nishi and other contenders.
